Last night I went out for beers with some of the other American students. I don't particularly like a lot of the other Americans, but I'd only had one beer since I got here, and going out beats sitting at home on Friday night. Anyway, I figured out the hard way that Russian beer has a little more booze in it than PBR or High Life. And two half-liters of beer gets you way more drunk than two pints. It was the most fun ride home on the metro that I've ever had, though.

While I've been catching up on the events of the week, I've been watching music videos, and the one that was just playing showed a couple of girls who get sick of being propositioned/molested/sexually objectified by their male co-workers at the office, so they strip down to their underwear and beat up all the men. There's also a Snicker's ad on tv with a Monty Pythonesque knight and minstrels. But a Bloodhound Gang video just came on. Weird.

Anyway, the agenda for today is to try to find this place that may or may not sell Russian movies with English subtitles and then to try to exchange these knitting needles, and then to hit up the internet café and throw all this stuff up on the blog.
